Grand-potential-based phase-field model for multiple phases, grains, and chemical components is derived from a grand-potential functional. Due to the formulation, energy does not contribute interfacial between simplifying parametrization decoupling interface thickness energy, which can potentially allow increased thicknesses therefore improved computational efficiency. Two-phase interfaces are stable with respect formation of additional implementation allowing variational form evolution...
Mesoscale modeling and simulation approaches provide a bridge from atomic-scale methods to the macroscale. The phase field (PF) method has emerged as powerful popular tool for mesoscale of microstructure evolution, its use is growing at an ever-increasing rate. While initial research using PF focused on model development, it matured been used more material discovery. In this review we focus applying We start with brief summary method, including numerical solving equations. then give seven...
High-operating-temperature direct ink writing (HOT-DIW) of mesoscale architectures that are composed eutectic silver chloride–potassium chloride. The molten undergoes directional solidification upon printing on a cold substrate. lamellar spacing the printed features can be varied between approximately 100 nm and 2 µm, enabling manipulation light in visible infrared range. As service to our authors readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by authors. Such materials peer...
Efficient solution via Newton's method of nonlinear systems equations requires an accurate representation the Jacobian, corresponding to derivatives component residual with respect degrees freedom. In practice these often arise from spatial discretization partial differential used model physical phenomena. These may involve domain motion or material that are complex functions systems' Computing Jacobian by hand in situations is arduous and prone error. Finite difference approximations its...
3D mesostructured AgCl-KCl photonic crystals emerge from colloidal templating of eutectic solidification. Solvent removal the KCl phase results in a AgCl inverse opal. The 3D-template-induced confinement leads to emergence complex microstructure. have large stop band ranging near-infrared visible tuned by processing.
Abstract Uranium dioxide (UO 2 ) is the primary fuel material that used in current nuclear reactors. As one of most fundamental parameters, grain boundary (GB) energy strongly influences many properties, and depend on characters properties individual GBs. Using molecular dynamics simulations, a high throughput survey GB UO was carried out for purpose elucidating roles geometry such as misorientation inclination, well bonding nature , affecting energy. energies CeO were calculated comparison...
